I finished the book part. It was short enough to get through in one sitting at least. Like you said, after the yakuza story it kinda switched into a really personal and opinionated writing. The politician bit is him laying out his political view, economically right wing libertarian who thinks Japan is communist. I completely saw it coming when he wrote himself into prime minister and had a good chuckle. Rather than rambling, I think the book is rather unlike his manifesto. He goes over social politics with rather broadstrokes and the takes aren't too out of the ordinary. I found the part where he denies on the goodness of God and the Cosmos to be most interesting as it further expends on his version of Gnosticism. Especially interesting is the fervent fanaticism for Transhumanism. I ended up skipping the rest of the game to see how much was left and I seem to only be about 1/3 or 1/4 of the way through. The entirety after the book seems to besomething like a dialogue between a couple of Demiurges and a Devil?

Personally, I think Gnosticism is extremely fascinating and most optimal when working alongside Christianity. My biggest problem with his Gnosticism is the utter lack of a moral system applicable to the "cosmos" and it's inability to translate into real world politics. But the author would no doubt reject the idea as his belief fundamentally opposes the concept of duality(反宇宙的二元論) and thus has no interest in a system of "good" vs "bad". As for his politics, I think at a few points he had stressed the necessity for social equality and even class equality. If that were the case, it would collapse a lot of his arguments. I don't find /pol/'s conspiracy theories to be that repugnant or all that harmful myself so it was really intriguing when he brought up his belief about Jewish banking families. There was also mention of Free Masonry but they appeared to be directly related to Gnosticism itself. I don't think the mention of Jews was a sign of him being an antisemite, quite the opposite in actuality, he documented their history in earnesty and was very opposed to ww2 imperialism. If I would to take up the tinfoil hat myself, I would say that he may regard the certain group of Jews as fellow secret society Gnostics to bring about humanity's evolution. (The nightmare that awakened him to transcendence was brought by the hands of the Free Mason Girl)
